Next Generation Manufacturing Canada (NGen), the industry-led organization leading Canada’s Advanced Manufacturing Supercluster, is co-funding a development project that involves Aurora, Ont.-based injection molder Axiom Plastics Inc.
Axiom has partnered with other Southern Ontario-based firms Aixel Inc., Riverside Natural Foods, Ltd., and Terra Cotta Foods to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered plug-and-play camera solution that automates visual quality inspection for manufacturers. This project will use vision systems and AI as part of an automated manufacturing process to ensure higher product quality than could be achieved using human inspection methods. The technology can be used in a wide range of industries spanning automotive, plastics, and food and beverage manufacturing.
